Evening had arrived. And suddenly the furniture standing in the lounge room began to argue.
I'm the most important!
Said the sofa.
Question for children: Why did the sofa decide that it was the most important?
People rest on me, read books, and watch the telly. I'm very soft and comfortable.
No, I'm the most important!
Said the dresser.
Question for children: Why did the dresser decide that it was the most important?
I'm very large and spacious. Beautiful crockery sits in me, and I'm all polished, smooth and shiny. That's very nice and practical.
No, I'm the most important.
A little voice was heard from the bedroom.
People rest on me after a hard day's work, and children have lovely, kind dreams.
Question for children: Who joined in the argument?
I'm very wide and comfortable, and I have backrests.
No, we're more important than everyone else. You can't manage in the kitchen without us. Eating whilst standing up, holding dishes in your hands, is not comfortable at all…
Question for children: Who supported the argument?
The old armchair listened and was amazed.
Question for children: What was the armchair amazed at, do you think? Why was it surprised?
